http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169136819308832 Measuring homogenization temperature (T ) is a basic work in fluid inclusion studies. However, the T of some h h fluid inclusion is hard to obtain using the traditional microthermometric method, in particular those that is easy to decrepitate upon heating. Such inclusions are common when the host minerals have well-developed cleavages (e.g., calcite and fluorite) and the fluids are enriched in volatile components such as CO or CH . In 2 4 theory, upon heating of H O-NaCl and H O-CO -NaCl inclusions that tends to homogenize to the liquid phase, 2 2 2 their bubble volumes (V ) will decrease with increasing temperatures (T) following cubic and quartic g polynomial V -T functions, respectively. A method that can predict inclusion T without heating it to g h homogenization is proposed in this study. The core idea is to retrieve the V -T function of a given inclusion g based on a series of (V , T) data points that were measured before total homo genization (or decrepitation of the g inclusion), and then calculate the T based on the function (the temperature at which V equals to zero). To test h g the performance of this method, a total of 14 synthetic and natural fluid inclusions were heated to homogenization (at T ) and their changes in V were recorded with increasing temperature. It is assumed that h, real g the inclusions get decrepitated before homogenization, and their homogenization temperatures were predicted (T ) using the method proposed by this study. If the inclusions were 'decrepitated' at temperatures 40 °C h, predicted below the T , the differences between the predicted and real homogenization are mostly smaller than 3 °C. h, real This approach provides a quantitative estimation of the T for inclusions that are easy to decrepitation, and is h much more accurate than directly using the temperature of decrepitation as an approximation of T . This h method was programed in two Microsoft EXCEL worksheets that are available in Supplementary Materials for T calculations of H O-NaCl and H O-CO -NaCl inclusions, respectively. h 2 2 2

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875510019303919 The complicated nanoporous structure and significant heterogeneity of shale matrix make it challenging to fully understand the gas transport behavior in shale. Towards this end, herein a multiscale approach was presented via coupling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, analytical model and pore network model (PNM). Using MDsimulations, we showed that gas transport in organic nanopores manifests a typical slippage feature whereas gas slippage breaks down in inorganic nanopores, which should be attributed t o 'rough' potential energy surface (PES) of inorganic walls. Based on the results of MDsimulations, a unified gas transport model was derived to describe gas flow behaviors in organic and inorganic pores by integrating continuum flow theory and gas-surface dynamics theory. In particular, gas transport process in heterogeneous shale matrix was performed with the help of pore network model and the influence of multiple factors on the gas permeability of shale matrix were analysed and discussed.

Anthropogenic influences on dissolved organic matter transport in high arsenic groundwater: Insights from stable carbon isotope analysis and electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Science of The Total Environment 708, 135162.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896971935154X In East and Southeast Asia, the health of over 100 million people is threatened by the consumption of groundwater containing high concentrations of arsenic (> 10 μg L-1), which is released from sediments through reductive dissolution of arsenic-bearing iron/manganese oxides. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is known to play a crucial role in the process of arsenic mobilization in shallow aquifers, and its availability and reactivity are key factors controlling the variation of arsenic concentrations in groundwater. However, it is unclear how human activities influence the transport of DOM and how the transportation affects the DOM molecular properties in high arsenic groundwater. This study provides insights on the sources and molecular compositions of DOM in groundwater from the Jianghan Plain, central China, a newly discovered area with seasonal
